The radium girls were a group of workers who painted watch faces with radium paint cuz it glowed. To point their brushes, they would wet it with their mouths. The body treats radium like calcium, delivering it to bones. The first woman to die was so affected, the doctor lifted her jaw right out of her face. Oh also it is possible to not have one of your leg bones and not really notice for a long time
“Phosphorus” by Veronica Schanoes is perhaps the best piece of short horror I’ve ever read. It centers around one of these workers poisoned by radium. It revolves around themes of immigration, class, folk magic, and of course the gore you’ve described.
I’ve also been meaning to read Schanoes’ “Burning Girls” which is free online
I remember one guy who tried to push this idea online. Here's what he looked like:
He was later outed as a predator by a transgender woman who was 10 years younger than him. She accused him of manipulating her into a relationship, forcing her to move in with him, coercing her to have sex with him.
I'm literally never going to respect his pronouns because it seems so obvious to me that he was doing this shit to get a "political pass". If you read his fucking manifestos, you'll get a sense of how he thinks: "Men are morally corrupt; women are the victims of this, which turns women into a latent revolutionary force. I'd rather 'identify with womanhood' than to be one of the men overthrown in the uprising."
Hahaha... haha... ha.
I still think about it 10 years later because this guy's influence was insane in some sections of tumblr, a decade ago... and he posted some really deep cuts into his own "transgender" psychology. How much did he come up with lies? Good question, so keep that in mind.
It's really interesting how open he was, before the callout post:
(I would guess he means for sexual reasons, maybe even predatory reasons.)
I find this really interesting, because he could have been a real trailblazer. He has the choice of who he dates and how he can act. Being a straight woman doesn't conscript one to slave away in a patriarchal relationship. You have to choose an individual person who could treat you right. You're only one person and you only need one person as a lover. You don't necessarily need the whole world to be perfect, to be happy or find love. Sure, shit can really fucking suck but we each can change it ourselves. We don't need to fucking cut off our dicks about it.
Keep in mind, he had a cisgender wife when he published this shit.
but you sound like you don't want to step up and be that "good man", as you say:
Words of a predator.
me when im laying here in actual fucking agony because my extraction site hurts so bad (got my wisdom teeth removed. almost a week ago.) and im like hmmmm I don't think this is normal :|
